Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin announced his resignation following a scandal involving officials receiving false disability diagnoses to evade military service, calling it amoral.
Kostin stated the number of prosecutors in Khmelnytskyi registered as disabled had reached 61, with many receiving their status even before the war.
President Zelensky urged dismantling the system responsible for disability registrations by year-end, highlighting a need to close loopholes that facilitated draft evasion through bribery.
The scandal revealed a pervasive issue, with President Zelensky noting that the cases of unjustified disability status extended beyond prosecutors, implicating a broader culture of corruption.
